“They sat in the back talking business on the way to New London. Immmediately the Red Cross guy began to make financial demands. “
Almost like my first experience in 68 on my first deployment to Viet Nam. As we were leaving the states the Salvation Army gave all of us a bag with the basics (soap, shaving gear, envelopes, socks ...). While in country my first experience with the Red Cross was to charge for coffee and a doughnut and forget socks - too expensive. Getting my son home from Afganistan for his grandfathrers funeral had to be done through the Red Cross. They turned the whole thing into a Kafka nightmare.
Quinn this morning alleges that Kathleen launched her attacks, and continues to at the behest of Howard Dean and Dick Durbin..... He claims his sources informed him she is acting completely on their direction and knew and admitted full well to R Senator in Kansas what she was doing and that she was lying.
Take that for what its worth, but if its true, Kathleen should be out of office by the end of the day, as sould Dean and Durbin.... The bodies weren’t even cold.
I’ve never been a fan of the Red Cross, they’ve charged for coffee since WWII... You survive in theater, get to someplace with a red cross tent, and then they want you to pay for a cup of Joe.... Ungrateful bastards.
I read on an earlier thread - ‘Kansas City’. Urban areas are why the lib/dims want to do away with the Electoral College.
Funny how they keep doing the same stuff. Back in World War I, a friend of my Fahtyer’s was with the First Army in France. The Knights of Columbus showed up with sniper’s bullets buzzing around, offering coffee and such stuff. Yep, when he went to the rear, the Red Cross charged him for coffee and doughnuts. Togive thenm due credit, he said there was a Red Cross nurse there, dressed like a cover girl from Macleans’s. Some rich gal who virtually had to bribe her way to the front.
The very one.
